Firstly, unless you move often, selling your family home is something you might do only once or twice in a lifetime. So when the time does come to move, you may not be at all familiar with the many processes involved. You may call in many of your top local agents, who’ll all be pushing hard for your business, who’ll all be telling you how good they are, who’ll probably be putting pressure on you to sign with them, to do it their way, to sign up for this or that marketing budget. You’ll get a lot of confusing and conflicting advice and be placed under tremendous stress. And do you auction or sell privately? What about boards, signage, advertising, Opens for Inspection? Then there’s the new Set Sale method of selling. What’s right for you? Whom do you trust?

With Ian Reid’s Vendor Advocacy Australia, all of those problems are solved for you. Indeed, we are the only people you ever have to deal with from start to finish. As a totally independent advisor, we will sit down quietly with you and go through all of your options calmly and thoroughly. We’ll discuss with you what’s best for you and your personal circumstances, and then go out on your behalf and talk to the best agents in the area.

We will interview those agents for you. We’ll take all the pressure off by doing all that work for you - we will sift through all the conflicting advice, assess which agent is likely to be the right one for you, then report back to you so that you can make a balanced and informed decision without any of the pressure.


When you've got better things to do.
 

If you feel it necessary to talk to some or all of those agents yourself, we can also be right there with you as well, to steer you through all the competing advice. As your advocate, our job is to get you the best outcome achievable.

Unfortunately, many agents have a reputation for over-promising and under-delivering. When using our service, it is we who engage the agent of your choice on your behalf. Therefore, you retain control over the transaction at all times. Should the selected agent not meet their commitments, we may change them immediately, rather than have you tied to one particular agent and be stuck with them for a lengthy period of time. This is another unique aspect of Ian Reid’s Vendor Advocacy.

We are also finding that our Vendor Advocacy service is particularly important for a growing number of investors with real estate portfolios across the country, who choose to use our expertise in securing the right deals with the right agent when it’s time to sell. Additionally, for people with the responsibility of advising friends and business associates on real estate matters, Ian Reid’s experience is unmatched. Or perhaps you have been appointed executor or trustee of an estate and need someone to turn to.

You might be anxious to sell a real estate inheritance in an area unfamiliar to you. There are many, many circumstances when the professional, knowledgeable and finely honed skills of Ian Reid can make a tremendous difference to you.

And of course our service is particularly valuable if, like many people today, you simply do not have the time to pursue all of these seemingly endless real estate negotiations yourself. We’ll do all the work, all of the interviewing and all of the running around for you!
